tried openvpn "instances". but it took down my network(self solved)

[DEC670airp414user]

I setup multiple tunnels using the vpn > clients and they work as expected for me when I check:
 Don't pull routes
Don't add/remove routes
have used this setup for Years with zero issues.

when I created the Openvpn instances, they connect successfully.   but I can not route them properly per alias and my network goes down.

route-no pull did not seem to fix the issue.

wanting the alias to send traffic to a specific gateway tunnel.    I am wanting the WAN to use my ISP as the gateway which I can not get working

EDIT
https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/3987.  <------ well I am guessing those ARE the same settings?

 any suggestions?

[Fright]

so what if you add "route-noexec" to Miscellaneous-Options as well ? )

[DEC670airp414user]

just did it again.  if I check both of those options.

my entire wan interface goes down.   
if I go back to my original tunnel.   and disable the instance it all works with regular  gateway rules and it nated

as soon as I turn off the new interface tunnel. and gateway interface.   everything comes back online

Under the original connection only

Don't add/remove routes   Appears to be needed for the connections to continue working.  Not sure what don’t pull routes does or doesn’t do.  I unchecked it. Cleared states and it still works

I’ll test more later

2nd complaint you can’t add snd and rcv buffers anywhere?

[DEC670airp414user]

Route-No-exec was the only one needed

Speeds are 30mb faster than the OLD tunnels… so I’ll hush about the snd rcv buffer statement!

Wow that is huge… glad I tried this a 3rd time!
